1986 Chevy Suburban sloppy tilt steering wheel

there are 4 inverted torx head screws that have to be tightened deep inside column. you will probably only be able to get to 3 of them without totally disassembling the column. tighten 3 of them and the play will be gone.

How do I get to the 4 torx screws? I have removed everything up to and including the signal switch.

you have to go a little deeper. you need to depress the lock plate and remove the c clip to remove it. then you can access the inverted torx screws. you might be able to rent or get on loan from your auto parts store, its called a lock plate depresser, it makes getting the c clip out a lot easier.

I have done that. I am past removing the lock ring and the signal switch, how do I get to the 4 screws?

i use long extension with the inverted torx bit and snake it right through, you can only get to 3 of them. if your bit is too wide try taking it to the grinder to make it thinner.
